    They got me in for an oil change the next morning. They didn’t have my filter and had to order it, even with having the filter delivered I was in and out in 45 minutes. The lady at the front desk was friendly and helpful. Amazing service. Found my new place for oil changes.

    11-1-2025 I’ve been going to the same car-x in Johnston for years, even though I don’t live there anymore. New manager was really great helped me out a lot. Oil change was done in amour 30 minutes. And I’ll keep coming back to that same location.
